In the days since the club's historic Europa League win, swathes of supporters have done a u-turn on Ange and now want him to be given a crack at a third season. But host Marcus remains unconvinced he is the right man for the job going forward, despite fulfilling his promise to deliver a trophy in his second year. Here Marcus makes the case for moving on from Ange and fills us in on his convers...

Dan & the two Toms relive the euphoria and emotion of Wednesday's historic triumph in Bilbao while Marcus is still on his arduous journey home.

Ange-ball may be dead but Ange's project is very much alive, with the Aussie edging closer to immortality. Where does the win in Bodo leave the head coach's future and has Marcus final...

Marcus and Dan are delighted to be joined by Bodo-born journalist Terje Flateby, a Glimt and Spurs fan who was one of the co-founders of Tottenham's Scandinavian Supporters' Club. Terje talks us through his association with both clubs and gives us the lowdown on everything Bodo/Glimt, from how they are likely to play in each leg to the cost of a local beer. Before speaking to Terje, Marcus and ...

Is that on the players or Ange, or does a poor season ultimately come back to Levy? Plus, some rea...

Marcus Buckland and Dan Kilpatrick talk over the 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-final first leg.

Can Spurs cope with the atmosphere in Frankfurt next week and who should play?

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick to talk over Sunday's forgettable 3-1 win over Southampton and look ahead to the season-defining Europa League quarter-final against Frankfurt.

Plus, what sele...

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick to discuss Ange's clash with fans at Chelsea and what next for the under-pressure head coach. Dan has just been to Ange's Friday press conference, where the manager evoked Conte and delivered a defiant address, but finds it hard to see a way back for the manager after his apparent goading of fans at Stamford Bridge. The pair also look ahead to Su...

Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Allnutt discuss the latest on Ange's future following a fresh round of links with Iraola, Silva and Frank during the international break.

Marcus, Dan and Tom B give their take as Spurs turn over Man Utd for the third time this season.

Dan Kilpatrick, Tom Allnutt and Tom Barclay were all at Villa on Sunday as Spurs crashed out of a second cup competition in four days and they all questioned Ange in a fiery post-match press conference.

Tom argues that now is a great time to play Arsenal, while Marcus' pessimism clashes wi...

Marcus and Dan react to Wednesday's outstanding 1-0 win over Liverpool in the League Cup semi-final first leg, sealed by Lucas Bergvall's first goal for the club.

Djed Spence and James Maddison are topcis of discussion, as well as supporters' chants against chairman Daniel Levy.

Marcus and Dan have different perspectives on Postecoglou's position and where the blame lies after Sunday's miserable 4-3 defeat to Chelsea.

Plus, Bentancur banned, Maddison out in the cold an...

Marcus and Dan react to Wednesday's 2-1 win over Man City, which set up a Carabao Cup quarter-final against Man United in December. Timo Werner finally scored (was it ever in doubt?) and Pape Matar Sarr popped up with a beauty. But a great night was marred by an injury to Micky van de Ven.

Marcus is joined by Dan for an immediate reaction to the dismal defeat at Selhurst Park. This was comfortably Spurs' worst performance of the season but why? What went wrong?
